The now renowned Cult wine label of Ochota Barrels can be found in the beautiful Basket range of Adelaide Hills. Tara Ochota, owner/purveyor takes a hands-off, minimum-intervention approach to winemaking: he picks early to maintain natural acidity, ferments using indigenous yeasts, whole-bunch presses the whites, and uses whole-bunch fermentation and longer maceration for the reds. The wines are mouthwatering and they have a compelling energy about them.
